The New York City Port Authority has released a stunning photograph of workers placing the spire on top of One World Trade Center.. They are 1,700+ feet above the ground in the photo. Just contemplate that.. The image is amazing, and surely enough to cause persons acrophobia to look away with fear..

The picture was taken on May 10, 2013. The building is set to open in 2014–when it will become the tallest building in the Western world and third tallest on the planet..
